can autism be cured in 2 year-old - #24030
I am really worried about my 2-year-old son. Lately, we've noticed him showing signs that seem like autism, you know? He doesn't respond to his name very well, and he has these repetitive behaviors that are tough to watch. I've read that early intervention can help, but I keep wondering, can autism be cured in 2 year-old kids? I mean, are there really strategies or treatments out there that could make a difference? People say they’ve seen improvements with certain therapies, and I feel desperate. We want to give our boy every chance to grow and thrive. Sometimes I think I see glimmers of him connecting with us, but then other times, it feels like he’s so far away. Is it even possible to think about a cure, or should we just focus on support instead? What can I do as a mom to help provide the best for him? Any info would be super appreciated!

What Is the Apgar Score and How Can Ayurveda Help in Supporting a Newborn’s Health and Development Naturally? - #16069
I recently learned about the Apgar score, which doctors use to evaluate a newborn’s health immediately after birth. Since I am expecting my first child soon, I want to understand what this test measures and whether it has long-term implications for a baby’s health. From what I understand, the Apgar score is given at one minute and five minutes after birth to assess a baby’s breathing, heart rate, muscle tone, reflexes, and skin color. But what I do not fully understand is whether a low Apgar score always means a baby has health problems. Can factors like a difficult labor, cesarean section, or temporary breathing issues cause a lower score, even if the baby is healthy? I am also curious about how Ayurveda views newborn health and development. Are there specific Ayurvedic practices or herbal remedies that can help strengthen a baby’s immunity and support healthy growth? I have read about Swarna Bindu Prashana (a gold-infused herbal remedy) being used in Ayurveda for boosting immunity—does it help babies with a low Apgar score? Another concern I have is whether a mother’s diet and lifestyle during pregnancy affect the baby’s Apgar score. Does Ayurveda recommend any specific foods, herbs, or lifestyle practices that can help ensure the baby is born strong and healthy? If anyone has experience using Ayurveda to support newborn health, I would love to hear what worked for them. I want to make sure I am doing everything I can to give my baby the best start in life.
